CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. Folks - we did it. We finally made it to the final episode of this season. It’s been a whole year since we sat down to start this season adventure, and we’re at the end of a season we’ll always remember for Pony Therapy. I mean, there’s so many lessons and thoughts to take away - for example, never meet your idols. Because Star Swirl the Bearded is a complete jerk who is totally out of touch with how friendship works in current Equestria. But even ...

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. It’s finale time for Season 7 and wow do we have one heck of an exposition bomb dropped on us from the very beginning. I mean, it’d just be lying if we said we didn’t put together the fact that all the legendary pony stories we talked about this season were gonna get referenced later. But they start in on the legends and drop a lore bomb for the first act of this episode, cramming as much info as they possibly can into their 30 minute cartoon. It’s...

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. RIght before our season finale, we get this adorable reformed ponysode where all of Starlight’s friends get introduced to our favorite Joel Grey magic pony, Sunburst! Well, introduced isn’t the right word, more like coincidentally bump into Sunburst and then become best friends. Starlight might be a bit jealous, but when your best friend comes to visit and then spends a whole day hanging out and chatting with Maud Pie - something’s a bit off. Starl...

So it’s no surprise this week when Pinkie’s delivery of a pie in celebration of Rainbow Dash’s 73rd Wonderbolt Practice Session might get mixed reviews from Dash. And if it were an isolated case, we might be able to forgive our favorite jock pegasus. But the lengths Rainbow Dash will go to dispose of a pie and the further lengths Pinkie will go to prove her pies...

Dice Up Games!) joins us this week on an all-expenses paid vacation in the skies on a luxurious zeppelin cruise! Or at least, that’s what it was billed as when Twilight Sparkle’s mom Twilight Velvet signed the whole family up for a vacation. I mean, who wouldn’t jump at the chance to get away with the whole family? Except they didn’t do the homework, and now they’re st...

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. We’re back with our own little filly, Lucy, to talk Cutie Mark Crusaders this week, and their perfect idea of a Cutie Mark Camp! There’s food, fun activities, and finding your purpose - what could go wrong? Well, how about a little foal who’s the brother of a Wonderbolt and who…(checks notes)…doesn’t want a cutie mark. We’re not kidding when this episode attacks the very notion and necessity of Cutie Marks, threatening some very real existential br...

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. Angel Andrews returns this week for the rudest, timeliest episode of My Little Pony we’ve watched for this show. Because of course, in this absolute bonkers year of lockdowns and quarantine, our favorite pony had to go and have a pandemic episode. Yup, Fluttershy is trying to take care of her good friend Zecora after she catches the mystifying “swamp fever” and in the process has to learn some really tough lessons about self-care. And we mean tough...

Look, it’s bad enough that Rarity has a mane mishap, we all know how desperately important her coiffure is to her image and brand. But Rarity isn’t in full panic mode over silly string meets super glue getting into her hair. It’s what happens next that is so terrifying, nopony is able to hide their horror. Rarity has to ...

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. The awesomely cool friend of the show Morgan Nuncio (The Red Death! Powered by the Players! Streaming!) joins us to talk about the hypest hype team ever, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. Dash is mostly dragging Pinkie along, though, after she hears A.K. Yearling might be done writing books and can’t fathom her favorite author not writing…I mean worried about her friend, in general. It’s more than that, though - Daring Do is having a lot of second thoug...

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. What happens when you mix Thorax, his grumpy non-transformed brother, and resident Pony Disaster Duo Starlight and Trixie in an episode? Apparently a bunch of hijinks and hilarity. This episode doesn’t really involve any of the Mane Six, and yet it’s low key one of the funniest and most entertaining episodes we’ve seen this season. I mean, Pharynx is just so adorable in how much he hates all the new vibes in the hive. Not to mention that they’re ve...

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. Tim Devine of the Roll to Play Network and The Red Death joins us to talk about the first real filler episode of MLP we’ve gone through in a long time. Let’s be clear - we’re big fans of the look of these episodes, they’re telling some cool stories. But yowzers does this episode feel slapped together. The chance to meet some Viking ponies or hooved Centurions is pretty great, and we’re always moved by stories like Mistmane’s, teaching that beauty c...

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. There’s always a little bit of filler each season, but this episode managed to pack in a great friendship message, Spike shenanigans, and an amazing meta-bit, all at the same time. And also, we get to pit the majestic but a little clueless Thorax with the tactless, blunt honesty of Ember, and OF COURSE it leads to hilarious results. We’re not saying it’s the most groundbreaking episode of My Little Pony, but it’s still a pretty fun time! We’re watc...

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of grief and the loss of parents and loved ones. CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. Up until now, there hasn’t been an episode that directly confronted the issues with the fandom. And we would know, we’ve spent 6 and a seasons watching it. They’ve certainly flirted with the idea, but this week, the fandom is getting called out and it is terrific. The protests of Rarity, the Fluttershy redundancy, the criticism of Twilight’s “charact...

And unlike most Discord episodes, this time, he’s the one needing more introspection and truly growing as a creature. He also is the main character of the entire episode, if you count the six separate Discords in his house at any given time. And yet despite the hijinks, this is one of the most delightful and feelings-filled episodes ...

The yaks are celebrating one of their biggest holidays and Pinkie’s been…”invited” to join in the festivities. There’s vanilla cake, music huts, and stories by the fire, until some ritual stomping triggers an avalanche. That’s when the yaks, stubborn as they are, refuse Pinkie’s help to get their village out from under the snow. And w...

Friendship problems and the Cutie Map are a mainstay of the past couple seasons, so when Twilight is in a panic-derived shock to start this episode, it seems like overkill. But then you realize that Starlight Glimmer is being called…for a friendship problem…AT CELESTIA AND LUNA’S CASTLE. Sure enough, her worst fears are realized when it turns out the most powerful sisters in Equestria are having some issues. Starlight has some bold ideas of how to ...

There’s Photo Finish, Hoity Toity and…Applejack? Yep, Rarity’s actually got an interesting idea of how to bring Applejack’s honesty and practicality to the design competition. But Applejack instead thinks it’s gonna be a competition for who can make the best clothes Applejack would wear, and ...

Adorable, because Big Mac has a crush on a pony from Starlight’s old village, and the awkward sweetness is just lovely. Ridiculous, because there’s a rival for Big Mac’s potential pony love, and HE LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE JUSTIN BIEBER. Not even joking, he’s got ridiculous 2010’s bangs and likes to flip his hair. It’s ...

The amazing and delightful Evan Tess Murray of This Planet Needs a Name and Light Hearts joins us this week for some serious Pony Therapy and ridiculous sight gags as Scootaloo slingshots her way (literally) into Dash’s parents’ house. They’re instant BFF’s, since Bow Hothoof and Windy Whistles are truly bigger fans of Rainbow Dash than even Scootaloo, and that takes effort. In fact, they’re such big fans that Rainbow Dash has maybe kinda sorta not...

Yep, it’s Rarity time, and once again, it’s time for Macintosh to try to defend Rarity in her obnoxious friendship decisions. Specifically, she’s all up in Sweetie Belle’s business after realizing her time at the different shops has left her with little to no time with her little sister. Which is sweet and lovely, but Rarity doesn’t understand...

And now, after having done so much hard work over so many long hours at the rock farm, Maud is ready to find a new place to settle. Will she choose Ghastly Gorge, with its amazing assortment of jasper emerald? Or is Maud looking for something more than amazing rocks…like maybe friendship? Her sister...

BUT FLURRY HEART IS SO ADORABLE SO WHO CARES. Seriously, this li’l foal is the most adorable pony that ever did pony in Equestria, and this episode is her moment to shine. Sometimes literally! And also, Twilight has to learn that being a good, responsible aunt means not trying to also do twelve other things when all your cute as a b...

Like, LITERALLY, Starlight Glimmer is bottling up her rage and frustration, and it saps her of her magical energy. That…that is just TOO real. But at least we also get some ridiculous magical shenanigans from Starlight’s BFF, Trixie, and a Mane 6 subplot that is both precious and hilarious, all at once. We’re talking about ”All Bottled Up” this week on Maci...

That’s right, Starlight and Discord are both unable to use their superpowered skills to save everypony, and it’s going to take some real ingenuity and courage to figure out a way to win this battle. Is Starlight up to the task? Can Discord get past his arrogance and single pursuit of FLu...
